With a robust workforce, a wave of tech giants like Apple, Shopify, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft continue to invest in the GTA and attract highly educated workers to the city. These operational expansions further solidify Toronto’s position as a global tech leader and recognize the talents of Canada’s diverse skilled workers. Toronto is now home to more tech workers than major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Washington, DC., ranking right behind New York and Silicon Valley.
Among recent announcements, Walmart is set to launch one of two global tech hubs in Toronto, adding hundreds of jobs to the area. HubSpot, the leading CRM platform, also announced plans to capitalize on the city’s booming tech scene by opening its first Canadian office in Toronto.
Toronto’s high-ranked position in the tech industry has been made possible through years of investment from local universities, government agencies, business leaders, and Canada’s immigration policies.
